What Type PTO Shaft?

NO reason at all. I hate that collar-type PTO connection. It really sucks. Whomever invented that POS should be in prison....or have his fingernails pulled out.....or worse. Change that dude and move on.
I do have a Speedco PTO extender that I connect to two POS collar affairs as needed. It really helps with the connection as I can pre-install the Speedco extender prior to connection to this bastard collar affairs. It works for me. Cheap and easy fix. (I do have Pat's EZ change on my three point....thus it allows a PTO extender to the shafts without shortening those shafts).
How The Fxxx can anyone pull on that collar connection while pushing the shaft on to the PTO shaft??? Talk about a STOOPID creation! Did I mention I hate those collar connections? Grin.

Is the top yoke picture have a slip clutch built into it? I am not familiar with that rubber disk/cylinder type. The slip clutch is just what came to mind when I saw that. If that is the case then I would say the push in version is probably not the route to go.

No slip clutch pictured there. Just a bullshit connector that nobody can operate. The guy that developed that set up should be lynched.
I agree - whomever invented the collar attachment should be sentenced to a life of attaching large implement pto shafts with collar yokes, in 100 degree heat

I hooked up my batwing today. It’s been about a month since I did it last time.
I was dreading it. Last time I wrestled that damn thing for what seemed like an hour. Tractor pto was in neutral so ipto shaft would spin, collar pulled back, could not get that thing on there. Sweating like a pig.
Today it jumped on there like it had eyes. No idea why. I did lube it up last time. That did seem to help, still doesn’t seem like that should have made any difference.

This right here shows how far AI has yet to come. You can tell by this description AI has never attached a collard yoke pto shaft on larger equipment in 100 degree heat
My explanation would go something like this
“While the collard yoke supplies a secure attachment - that is if you can ever get this abomination of a design attached, without passing out from heat stoke while attempting the connection. Who in their right mind would ever think pulling backward and forward at the same time, while picking of a heavy object from an awkward position had one ounce of merit whatsoever.”
In my opinion, this should go down as one of the worst inventions in history.

Agreed! There are so many pinch points that can get you with a PHD....and often the 3 Point links require some changes to get an auger to the right height. One implement I hate to attach. Mine has that collar too...and it sucks. I also have that collar style connector on my cone spreader.....but I leave the Speedco PTO extension on that spreader and the Speedco has a side push button.....solving the situation. That PTO shaft would be too short if not for the Speedco. Win / Win for me on that one.
I got two fence posts in the ground about 2 feet apart....and I can use a support board between them to hang my post hole digger fully assembled. It's then far easier to hook it up with this arrangement. Tho....I have had my digger loaned out to a freind for two years running now. He has a major fence project he has been doing (backyard swimming pool and tree planting). I borrowed it back from him in spring to plant my white spruce....then brought it back to him so he can finish the major renovation project he has been doing for two years...lol.

Yes, I do dig it into the ground, then use T-posts to support the arms. A push button yoke would be so much better. The sad part is that I would use it more if it was not such a pain to hook up. I have an archery target frame project using RR ties I am putting off because of the frustration using the PHD.

Gotta say.....that I have had my PHD hanging in the corner of my pole shed for quite some time before loaning it out. If I used it more.....I would then hang it on the aforesaid posts that stick out of the ground about 5 feet high. <----this really simplifies attachment as you do not fight all the weight and it simply hangs from these poles. I worry that if I were to bury it in the ground it would rust away....lol.
If it was at my place I would just use the speedco coupler from my spreader when needed. I'd problably put a large plastic tub over it in winter to shield it from the weather. I try to protect PTO driven stuff.

Here is that extension I am talking about. Get one...problem solved (unless it makes your PTO shaft too long) . Also if you use PATS EZ Change this can add the proper length for other implements.
